Plastic bags. Billions of the handy throwaway items are used around the world
every year. They take hundreds of years to biodegrade and have sparked heated
debates in cities from San Francisco to Mumbai.

This documentary gets a handle on the bag battle. From the big oil employees
who brought the bag to America - to the Nobel laureate fighting for a bag ban
- to the retired German schoolteacher who holds the world's record for the most
plastic bags, the film takes stock of this icon of convenience culture.
